Anyone had good results with hair growth products/methods? (mander.xyz)

I'm starting to notice my hair is thinning a bit. Nothing drastic. Just natural aging. No, nothing unusual came up when I got my blood tests, my doctor didn't find anything wrong with me.

I'm just asking to see if any of you had good luck with any products. I know grafting is an option, and I also know that there are hair clinics which are very expensive etc. but I'm after an "at home" method.

Is there a product you would recommend?

Hmm, I'm female but I'll have a look around anyway. Thanks!

Also don't bother buying the "woman" version of whatever product with minoxidil. It's usually more expensive and has a lower concentration of the active ingredient.

Granted you may need a lower dose as a woman but use less and each bottle lasts longer.

Gotcha! I think tressless could still be a good resource then, but from what I recall it’s mostly men.

My mom and sister have both started using minox and have started to see some positive results, but I’m not sure of the biological process that would cause follicle dormancy/death in females, so I’m not sure what results you could expect. Also to note, minoxidil can cause some shedding at first, so your hair will look thinner for a few months until it starts to regrow more.
